Charles B. Keeler (1882- 1964) -- student Born in 1882 Cedar Rapids, Charles Keeler completed his professional studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and Harvard University. During extensive European travels (1909-1912), Keeler perfected his etching techniques. The U.S. National Museum (Smithsonian) purchased one of his prints for its permanent collection (1915); that same year, the St. Paul Institute of Art (MN) awarded him a silver medal for etching. At Camp Dodge, Iowa, Keeler joined the Army in 1918, and due to his fluency in French, was the company's translator and delegate to camouflage school. The artist's etchings gained notoriety in a 1927 showing at the Los Angeles Museum and at the "Fine Prints of the Year" exhibition (1929) in London. He attended the Stone City art colony and had works included in the Library of Congress's print collection. Keeler later moved to Los Angeles, California; biographical details after 1939 have been documented. |
